Asian Marinated Sock-Eye Salmon

I remember growing up and not eating a ton of fish until around the time that I was in high school and salmon had just come out of the super-food closet and was being touted as the best thing since sliced bread.  So one day my mom picked some up, sprinkled it with Cajun seasoning and grilled that baby up – and we were in love.  We had salmon once a week and fought over the leftovers, and I tried eating more fish – and succeeded.  I was successful.  At eating more fish.

I will say, though, that once you get a really really great piece of wild salmon then all other salmon pales in comparison.  Y’all, it’s like buttah – when I made this the other day I couldn’t help but sit there and pick pieces off of the grill.  You know, to test for doneness.  I may or may not have burned my entire mouth off in the process, but such is the life of a food blogger.  I do it for you guys!
